I must say

I apologize

for the many different styles

of poetry I've tried.

Some are stories, some are personal, some have long lines like this,

and talk about things I have only imagined to be true.

Some are less serious than others.

And some, you may not even relate

(because you're not a teddy bear,

for example).

But,

nonetheless,

they are all still related,

to this overarching theme of

melancholy.

So please keep this in mind,

and enjoy in your own time,

this collection of poetry,

I have compiled.

And, of course,

it would be a delight,

if you voted :)
